It has more AF points than the 50D but less megapixels and lower color depth, a better viewfinder than the D90 but weaker ISO settings and a smaller (albeit rotating) screen. Not to mention the Canon costs a bit less and the Nikon a lot less.

While it’s always good to have more competition up in this DSLR battleground, the E-30 can expect to have its ass handed to it in short order. What, I’m just telling it like it is!

They also have a redone lens which doesn’t sound bad: the Zuiko 14-54mm II f2.8-3.5 sounds totally solid, but keep in mind that Olympus’ DSLRs have a 2x FOV crp so that’s a 28-108mm equivalent. Solid walk-around lens.
